A turbo timer is a little device that leaves your engine running at idle speed, to let the turbo cool down on both sides (turbine and compressor) and basically give oil the time and flow to lubricate all delicate components.

The worst thing what you can do with a turbo'd car (or an N/A car) is rev the engine high before shutting it down.

A turbo timer will let your car run for a preset time, and then shut down the car. It even "looks" cool, because you park the car and basically -forget- to switch off the engine.. When a person comes to you and says "hey man, your engine is still running" then it shuts down..

It will increase your turbo and engine's life capacity..

They are relatively cheap devices.. if you dont go for branded ones, you might be better off with getting a new one.. Though a good used one would do just fine. Maybe through sameer's contact you can get some..

Hope this helps,
Michael
